Chief executive pay rose by 11% last year to almost £4m - much higher than rises for workers, a new report found.
The rise came despite criticism from investors and government about excessive salaries, the Chartered Institute of Personnel Development (CIPD) said.
The highest total payout was £47.1m for Jeff Fairburn, chief executive of housebuilder Persimmon.
The GMB union called the findings a "badge of national shame".
According to the CIPD, the median pay for FTSE 100 chief executives was £3.93m last year, up from £3.53m in 2016.
That compared with a 2% increase for UK workers as a whole, it said.
The HR industry group also found bosses were paid on average 145 times more than their employees - up from 128 times in 2016.
